Your Thoughts Do Not Create Your Reality, Stupid.

[Hototo]

Felt like an unsourced rant about how magic doesnt work and everyone who believes it does is silly. Seen one seen a million of these.

Lets put this in a real world example.

Stupid Secret Thinking, envisioning the future:
•You want more money because you want to be rich.
•You positively think about receiving large sums of cash. You use various manifesting methods. You do a vision board with money on it. You dream about being rich.
•You feel what it would be like to have a lot of money in the bank.
•You wait patiently for the money to arrive, and when it doesn’t, you wonder what you did wrong. You feel, in your wanting, just how damn lacking you truly are.

Smarter Thinking, working with what is:
•You want more money because you want to be rich.
•You ask yourself why you want to be rich.
•You realize it’s because you feel you deserve some luxuries in your life because you’ve been working so hard.
•You take a look at your life to see where you’re already experiencing luxury. You look at where you could treat yourself even more. You ask yourself what luxuries are possible right now. You search out luxuries that are possible on your budget.
•You begin to treat yourself on a regular basis to things that make you feel good—like long hot baths with bath salts, afternoon walks in the sun by the beach, and a red rose once a week.
•You notice, in astonishment, that you feel rich, because you’re meeting your need to treat yourself ever now and then with a luxury.
•You’ve successfully inquired into your thoughts and feelings, using the knowledge gained to change the way you perceive your current reality, and made new choices which changed that reality and therefore changed the way you feel.

First one is a simple manifestation plan. You have a need of money, you state that you have a need of money and ask that the universe provides more of said energy, then you spend your energy on trying to increase your awareness of the universes reaction to your request so that you can be more aware of all guidance towards your stated clear goal.

The second one is a convulated plan to try to remove the desire itself, label it as bad and indeed in need of reform.

First one goes like this "state a desire, work on it."

Second one goes like this "state a desire, think about why you are wishing for such silly things, reform your thinking into not stating what you want, become angry about it and call it progress and rant at others who don't follow."

Seen this particular style of approaching the magical workings enough times to have a fairly good guess of why the person in the article wrote the way she/he did.
